The belief or disbelief of any doctrine altera hotthena-
tur >1 it in the lent. ' •
K pticator brings an argument for bis disbelief of the
Trinity, from the fact of tluiir being on record no control
versy upon ibis subject among the curlier Christians,” and
wlij? Because this doctrine was taught ns 'hough it were
Vrriittn tu s'Hib‘-.ims, John 14th ch. and 8th ?. ‘Philip
saiili unto Imu, tjbewua the Fattier, and it suffisoth
us. Jesus sailta unto him, hare I been so longtime with
* you and yet bust thou not known me, Philip. He that
hath seen me, bath seen the Father, and how sayest thou
then, shew u- the Father? ’ Now it does appear to me that
there could lie no possibility of controversy—no ground
for discussion whe-ai the doctrine is taught in such late-
guage as the above—and the 1st Chapter of John’s Gos
pel seems to have been written for the cxjfress purpose of
proving the Divinity uf Chiist.
After citing a number >f passages of Scripture to prove
Christ’s inferiority to bis Father, Replicator asks ‘if it it
possible to reconcile them with the idea of his being the
Supreme Deity.” Y-s, verily! there is not one passage
to which he lias referred but is perfectly consistent with
our ideas of the Trinity. This writer seems entirely to
overlook a (act that runs through the whole of the New
Testament, and is in a great measure the burden of its
song, viz —That Chiist possessed two natures—that be
wasin«n as well as God; that he assumed human nature,
although Divinity dwelt within; and by supposing those
passages u> refer to bis humanity, the difficulty vanishes.
The solution is easy, and fur proof, 1 again appial to the
law and to the testimony. “In him dw« It all the lullness
of the Godhead bodily.’* Great is the mystery of godli
ness. God w .is manifest in the flesh, justified in lire spirit,
Seen of Angels, preached unto theGen'ilrs, believed on in
the world, received up into glory, 1st Tim 3dch. 16 hv.
Replicator observes in his last par-graph, that “the
worship qf Deity is commanded to be directed to the
Faliier 8lone:” but in reply to this, it is only necessary to
refer to 5th lohn 23d v “That all men should honor the
Son even as they honor the Father,” and 24th Luke filst
an < 521 vs. And it came to pass, while he blessed them,
?ie parted from them, and carried up inta Heaven.—
And they worshipped Him Again, the ascriptions
*f t.rabe, &■ power, and ricbev, and wisdom. and strength,
and honor, and glory, and blessing given to the Lumb in
the 5th ch. Rev. is in direct contradiction to, and is a snf-
licr-nt r«f«il*Hon of tbis writer’s iss< rtions. 1 know be
cia pa>ry the force of this aigununt by frittering do n the
meaning of the words “worship anJ honors.” But that
sense of scripture that is violently forced to bend toward
any religious scheme or notion is very much to be sus
pected, tndifiibe not established on the plain principles
ofsciipture it is forth i i h to be discarded.
In 4tli Rr v. 11th v ibere ibis passage, “Thou art wor
thy, U Lord, to receive glory Sl honor and power, fur thou
. hast created all things and for thy pleasure thiy are an«
wtrr. created - ” Now Replicator may take which horn of
the dilemma be prefers. If his quotation refers to Christ,
then surely he is Divine, and de. £ e>v*s U,e adorali vn and
worth.p of men oncartii, -vi.o rec<-iv r, frum Angels and
ftom the Church in Heaven; but it »t refers to God the
Fatbir, as it certainly does, then read Col. lstch. 16th
I7ih and 13th vs. “For bvhim (i <- by Christ) were all
things created l hi tare in Heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible, whether thi-y be thrones, or dorni-
Jiions, or principalities, or powers: all things were crea
ted by him, and for him: and lie is before ail things and
by him all things consist, and he is the head of the body of
the Church: who is the brginniog, the first born from ibe

It cannot be denied that this passage refers to the Son
aud how <s it possible to reconcile these two passages bat
by supposing Christ to be G -d. (n Revelations it is aaid

(fSCil TIIE CLrBE, f P APRIL 20 )
It will appear, by the publication in o«r columns of lo
ti y, that ihe S. cretary of State has tendered his resigna
tion to Hit President, who has accepted it. The grounds
upon which this step was taken are so fully and distinctly
staled in the correspondence, that comment on our part is
unnecessary. On the7th the Secretary of War tendered
his resignation to the President; and yesterday, the StC-
*etary of the Treasury and Secretary of the Navy banded
n theirs; all of which have hetn accepted. From this it
is inferred that a new o g miration of the Cabinet is to
take place.
Allow me, Sir, to present one more view of the sub
ject:—You have consented to stand before jour constitu
ents for re-election. Of their decision, resting as it does
upon the unbonght suffrages of a free, numerous, and
‘v Kh Jy extended people, it becomes ho man to apeak with
certainty. Judging, however, from the past, and making
i reasonable allowance for the fair exercise of the intel
ligence and publie spirit or your fellow-citizens, I cannot
hesitate in adopting the belief that the confidence, as well
in your capacity for civil duties as in your civic virtues,
already so spontaneously and strikingly displayed, will be
manifested with encieased energy, now, that all candid
observers must admit their utmost expectations to have
been more iban realized.
If this promise, so auspicious to the best interests of
oor counion country, be fulfilled, the concluding term of
your administration will, in the absence of any prominent
cause of diitofd »morg its supporters, afford s most
favorable e pportunity for the full accomplishment ot
those important public objects, in the prosecution cf
which I have witnessed on your part such steady vigilance
and untiring devotion. To the unfavorable influence
which my continuance in your 1 Cabinet, under existing
circumstances, may exercise upon this flattering prospect,
I cannot, Sir, without a total disregard of the lights of
experience, and without shutting my eyes to tbe obvious
tendency of things for the future, he insmsible. Hav
ing, moreover, from a deep conviction of its importance
to the country, been among the most urgent of your advi
sers to yield yourself to the obvious wishes of the Peo
ple, & knowing too the sacrifice of personal feeling which
was involved in your acquiesrenee, 1 cannet reconcile
it to myself to be in any degree the cause of embarrass
ment to you doling the period which,as it certainly will be,
of deep interest to your country, is moreover destined to
bring to its close yoi.r patriotic, toilsome and eventful pub
lic life.
From these considerations, I feel it to be doubly my
duty to resign a post, tbe retention of which is so calcu
lated to attract assaults upon your administration, to
which there might otherwise be no inducements—assaults
o! which, whatever be their aim, tbo nio9t important as
well as most injurious effect is, upon those public interests
whim deserve ami should command the support of all
good citizens. This duty, I should have discharged at an
earlie r period, bqtXor considerations, partly of a public,
partly of a personal nature, connected with circumstan
ces w hich were calculated to expose its pr i formunee then
to misconstructions and misrepresentation.
Having expl lined tbe motives which govern me in thus
severing, and with seeming abruptness, the official ties
by which we have been associated, there remains but one
duty for me to perform. It is to make my profound and
sincere acknowledgements for that steady support and
cheering confidence which, in the discharge of my public
duties, 1 have, under at! circumstauces, received at your
bands, as well as for the personal kindness at all times ex
tended to me.
Rest assured, Sir, that the success of your Adminis
tration, and the happiness of your private life will ever
constitute ubjerts of tbe deepest solicitude wi'h
Your sincere friend andobed’t servant.

Elopement of a Nun.—An extract of a letter from
Washington City, published in the Episcopal Recorder,
says, .“There has keen no little excitement in this com*
munity within a few days past, arising from the recent
elopement of a principal Nun (Sister Gertrude) from the
Nunnery in Georgetown. This event occurred on Thurs
day last. Sister Gertrude was the Cluef instructress of
the academy in tbe invitation and upon whom its prospe
rity chiefly depended. The elopement was made in broad
day-light, and in dieguies, and the unhappy victim of super
stition found a refuge in the family of Gen. Van Ness the
Mayor of Ibis City, whose lady is first cousin of Sister
Gertrude. Hitherto she has resisted ail entreaties to re
turn a nd will no doubt continue firm in her purposes.—Ra
leigh Slur.
Washington, April 11 lb, 1831.
Dear Sib — f feel it to be my :uty to r*tire from the of
fice lo which your confluence and partiality called me.—
Tbe delicacy of this step, under the circumstances in
which it is taken, will, 1 trust, be deemed an ample apolo
gy for stating more ..t large, than might otherwise have
been necessary, the reasons by which I am influenced.
From the moment of taking my seat in your Cabinet, it
has been my anxious wish and zealous endeavor to prevent
a premature agitation of tbe question of your successor;
and. at all events, to discountenance, and if possible, re
press the disposition, at an earl} day manifested, to connect
mv nm; «*iib that disturbing topic. Of the sincerity
and tne constancy of this disposition, no one bus yet a
better opportunity to judge than yourself. It has, howev
er, been unavailing. Circumstances, not of my creation,
and altogether beyond my control, have given lo this sub
ject a turn which cannot now be remedied, except by a
arif-disfranchisement which, even if dictated by iny indi
vidual wishes, could hardly be rcconcileable with proprie
ty or self-respect.
Concerning the injurious effects which the circumstance
of d member of the Cabinet’s occupying the relation to
ward the country te which I have adverted, is calculated
to h <ve upon the conduct of public affairs, there cannot I
think, at Ibis time, be room for two opinions. Diversities
of ulterior preference among the friend* of an Administra
tion are unavoidable; and even if the respective advocates
of those thus placed in rivulship bs patriotic enough to re
sist the temptation of creating obstacles to the advance
ment of him lo whose elevation they are opposed, by em
barrassing the branch of public service committed to bis
•charge, they are, nevi rlbeless, by tbeir position, exposed
4o tbe suspicion of entertaining and encouraging such
'Views: a suspicion which can seldom fail in the end, to
aggravate into jfresent alienation and hostility the prospec
tive differences which first gave rise to it. Thus, under
the least unfavorable consequences, individual injustice is
suffered, and the Administration embarrassed aod weak
ened. Whatever may have been the course of things un
der tbe peculiar circumstances of the earlier stage of tbe
Republic, my experience has fully satisfied me that, at this
when tbe field of selection lias become so extended,
the circumstance referred to, by augmenting the motives
and sources of opposition to the measures of the Execu
tive, must unavoidably prove the cause of injury to the
public sendee, fora counterpoise to which we may in vain
look to the peculiar qualifications of any individual; and
' even if 1 should in this be mistaken, still I cannot so Jar
deceive myself as to believe for a moment tbatl am inclu
ded in Ihe exceptions. ...
These obstructions to the successful prosecution of pub-
lio affairs, when superadded to that opposition which is
inseparable from our free institutions and which every ad
ministration must expect, present a mass to which the op
erations of the government should at outline be voluntari
ly exposed:—the more especially should this be avoided
at so eventful a period in the affairs of tbe world, when our
country may particularly need the utmost harmony in her
Such being my impressions, the path of duty is plain:
and I not only submit with cheerfulness to whatever per
sonal sacrifices may be involved in the surrender of the
station I occupy; but I make it my ambition to set an ex
ample which, should it In the progress of the Government
ha deemed, notwithstanding the humility of its origin, wor
thy of respect and observance, cannot, I think, fail to
prove ewnlialljand permanently beneficial.
Washington, April 12, 1831.
Dtar Sir,—Your letter resigning the office as Secreta-
tary of State was received last evening. I could indeed
*vi«ii that no circumstance had arisen to interrupt tbe xe-
lationa n hich have, for two years, subsisted between us,
& nd that they might have continued through the period
during which it may be my lotto remain charged with the
duties which the partiality of my countrymen has impos
ed upon me. But the reasons yog present are su strong
that, with a proper regard for them, I cannot ask you,
on my own account, to remain in the Cabinet.
I am aivare of the difficulties you have had to contend
v ith, and of the benefits w hich have resulted to the affairs
of your country, from your continued zeal in the arduous
tasks to which you have been subjected. To say that I
deeply regret to lose you, is but feebly to express my feel
ings on the occasion.
When called by my country to the station which 1
occupy, it was not without a deep sense of its arduous re
sponsibilities, and a strong di-trust of myself, that I obeyed
the call; but, cheered b/ the consciousness that no other
motive actu itcd me, than a desire to guard her interests,
and to place her opon the firm ground of those great prin
ciples which by the wisest and purest of our patriots, have
been deemed essential to her prosperity, I ventured upon
the trust assigned me. I did this in the confident hope of
finding the support of advisers, able and true; who, laying
aside t very thing but the desire to give new vigor to the vi
tal principles of our Union. would look with a single eye
to the best means of effecting tbis paramount object. In
you. this hope has been realized to tho utmost. In (he
moat difficult and trying moments of ay administration
I have always found you sincere, able and «fficient—aux
ious at all times to afford me every aid. If, however,
from circumstances in your judgment sufficient to male
it ntccssurv, the official lies subsisting between us mu* !
be severed, I can only say that this necessity is deeply ia
monied by me. I part with you only because you >our
elf have requested me to do so, and have sustained *!■-.:
Ctq iesi by reasons strong enough to command my assen -
I c.r.33!, however, allow the separation to take plat*
without expressing the hope that this retirement from
public affairs is but temporary* and that, if, in any >tL •
tation, the government should have occasion for services
the value of whkh has been so sensibly felt by me, yout
consent will not be wanting.
Of the state of things to which you advert, I eann t h i
be fully aware. I look upon It with sorrow, and regret it
the more, because one of its first eff« cts is to disturb th*
harmony of my cabinet. It is, however but an instance
of one of the evils to which free governments must ever b>
liable. The only remedy for these evils, as they arise,
lies in the intelligence and public spirit of our common
constituents. They will correct them—ind in this the'
is abundant consolation I cannot quit this subject with
out adding that with the best opportunities for observing
and judging, I hav* seen in you no other desire than to
move quietly oo in tbe path of your d"tiea, and toprouiou
the harmonious conduct of public affkirs. If on this point
you have had to encounter detraction, it is but another
proof of the ui ter insufficiency of innocence and worth t
shield from such a-suohs.
Be assured that the interest you express in my happiness
is most heartily reciprocated-—that niy most cordial feel
ings accompany you, and that I am, very sincerely your
friend, ANDREW JACKSON.
P. S. It is understood that you are to conlioue in office
until your successor is appointed

British West India ports are abut, the flour, &c. is car

onr-hulf of the freight is carried in British vessels. Such
is the spirit and effect of tbe late arrangement, about which
there was so many flourishes of trump t&! The discrimi

BRITISH IMPORT, &c OF AMERICAN COTTON
The following stutement of the import of the American
Cottons into Great Britain with tbe consumption an
slocks for ten years, may not be uninteresting at this
time.

For the year 1830. the estimates of course are ts yet
doubtful, as are those for 1831, and cannot be strictly re
lied on; but the fact when ascertained, it is b< Ik ved, will
not vary materially from the statement, especially f r the
last year- The supply and consumption for the present
year in Great Britain, must depend on many contingen
cies. Our crop of cotton will be undoubtedly large, fully
equal to 1,000 000 bales; and it is fair to conclude lrom
past experience, that England will receive the greatest
proportion of our excess over tbe growth of last year-—
The consumption (greater the last than any previous year)
will, in all probability, continue to increase, unless^intes-
tin* commotions should become alarming; but the low
price of the raw material, and a constant .good demand
for manufactured goods, will tend much towards an aug-
mente l use of cotton. But after all, it seems strange
that the probable priee should be so low as many believe
ji w i|| be. If we look at the statement, we find that at
tbe close of 1823, tbe stock was 199,660 bales; the con
sumption 6,702 per week, and the average prices lor Up-
and 7} a 9[. The probable stock at tbe end of tbis year
will be about the same, and the consumption during the
year nearly double; why then, it may be asked, flits great
difference in price.*.
A PRODIGIOUS LAND SERPENT.
We have heard »*,onUerfui account* *’r‘»iu .ouriner3, of
8ca Serpents, an. of Land ScrpeuU, in different parts ol
ihe world; but none to equal the one lately seen in South
Carolina; which in fact, has eul Serptnled all the other
animals of that genus that we have read or heard of. I»
uas first discovered in tbe lower parts of the Statr, but
ha- wandered about, and its trull has bei-n but toe visible
in diffcieot parts of South Carolina. The length and olb-
< r dimensions of the prodigy, 1 will not uodcrlakt to d<-
ecribe. Suffice it to say, that it produced tome degree oj
excitement throughout tbe twenty-four Unit* d States, and
waaof size sufficient to abow itself in different parts of tbe
Slate at the *ame time. It has a most happy naek of
changing its ground, and seems to be actuated by no “fix
ed principles in nature
Its mouth is of most horrible dimensions, and its tongue
ia like.un immense bundle of barbed arrows, emitting a
sulphurious vapor,*and a matter resembling blood; a little
of which a chemist procured, and on anulyzatioit, it was
found to be the true matter of sedition.
On bis first appearance, he seemed to be healthy and
vigorous; but the climate, particularly that of ihe back
country, has disagreed with him.
The hiss of this serpent, or rather a sophisticated bel
low had a powerful effect on those that approached him,
and many were cba. med to mudness. They were seized
with tbe true Constitution phobia, * nd at the word “Union”
they really seemed to be desperate. At the name of
Jackson, and particularly a certain toast he drank, they
showed incipient madness. What was as remarkable as
any other symptom, tbeir inclination to Clay, an insatiable
thirst for offices; end they were often heard to cry out
“Nullification and the Cartouch box;" and son e were over
heard to whisper the word “Disunion.”
One person in particular, was so possessed by tbe in
fluence of this bydra Serpent, that he became a lunatic,
uttered b:gh swelling words, and talked of “crushing Ge
neral Jackson and his Myrmidons,” with as little remorse
as if they were lizards. The word nullification being *be
common exclar * *ion of those who were under the influ
ence of this serpent, it became his name, and he is
now commonly called “Nullification”
The serpent has now taken up his abode (at least for the
greater part of his limt) in Columbia, S- C. where he
seems hastening into a declinr.< His Telescopic eye has
lost its lustre, and the Times can aid him no longer.—
Many sacrifices are made in his behalf at the altar of
“Mercury;” but that God seems ta have lost his power to
render him any further service.
Tbe Serpent feeling himself a little renovated a short
time ago, crawled forth from bis lurking place, and darted
with felon ire on the principal Bet of a certain Hivt, and
bad well nigh materially injured him; but to tbe utmost
joy of Ihe Hive, his sting is not at all impaired, and the Le
gal Apiato r* has taken bis casein charge, and there Is no
doubt of his recovery.
As to the place that gave existence to this Serpent, the
naturalists cannot agree, because it is pretty well under-

present, that some of our public roads and bridges are ne
glected and nut put into repair agreeable to law and obli
gation.
e have examined the Clerk’s Books of the Inferior
Court and find that our finances have been well managed,
and they are correctly and honestly laid before us; and
that tbe balance on hand is 31236 84] cents. -
We present as a public grieveance the failure of the last
Legislature, for not carrying into effect tbe express will of
the people relative to the Reduction of the Members-of
the Legislature.- i
In taking leave of his honor Jddsu Clayton, we ten
der him our thanks for his able, faithful and impartial
discharge ef his official duty, during the present >nd labo
rious Term which is now ended, and in a particular man
ner for the prompt, energetic, and manly firmness with
which he seems disposed to enforce the laws of tbe
State recently passed for taking into possession the Cher
okee nation lyingin tbis State, and for the punishment of
H>e individual* who shall be found tresapasaing on the
same.
We also entirely coincide with the Court in tbe opinion
delivered this morning on the writ of habeas corpus, and
believe that all tbe arguments urged in its favor were an-
wered by the Court in a clear aod satisfactory and able
manner.
We also tender our thanks to the Solicitor General, T.
H. Trifpb, for his polite attention to our body during
! he present Term, and for his -able defence in opposition
to the writ of habeas corpus, this morning determined in
.he case of tbe Missionaries.
We request that our presentments, as far as they are of
a public nature, be published in the Georgia Journal and
Federal Union.' We further request that our present
ments may accompany tbe opinion of the Court on the [
habeas corpus case, which we hope he will make public. {
On motion of the Solicitor General, Ordered, That the
presentments of the Grand Jury be published agreeable to
their request.

nett Suptrior Court, at March Term, 1931.
